Pitt's Outlook
Current RPI: 39
Current Chances: 75.8%
Most Likely NCAA Seed: 8
Estimated RPI with 2-0 finish: 29
Estimated RPI with 1-1 finish: 40
Estimated RPI with 0-2 finish: 54
Pitt got the big win they needed, and now just need to win one of the next three games to punch their ticket.
Other than that, it is all about seeding now.... every bubble team that loses improves Pitt's position and every bubble team that wins potentially hurts Pitt's position.
Sunday's Losers
USC
The Trojans are now officially in freefall. Andy Enfield's team has lost 5 of 6, and the past three straight have been blowout losses. Their chances have fallen from 66.7% to 55.9%. Their once-promising season is unraveling.
Michigan
The Wolverines just keep losing games that would give them a chance to move into the field. Their loss at red-hot Wisconsin dropped their chances from 69.6% to 52.7%. John Beilein needs to find some quality wins soon.
Tulsa
The school that gave Pitt a High-Octane headache, lost a big game against Memphis. This dropped their chances from 82.5% to 68.7%. Karma, bitches. Tulsa and Houston might now be battling for the AAC's 4th spot.
UConn
UConn lost a home game to Houston, and saw their chances fall from a relatively secure 94.5% down to 78.9%. They're still probably in, though.
Sunday's Winners
Pitt
Rather than offend any readers who might have daughters on the Pitt cheerleading squad or dance team... I'm taking the chickenshit way out, for now. Pitt's chances improved from 46.8% to 75.8% and they probably need just one more win.
Seton Hall
The Pirates got a gigantic win against possible #1 seed Xavier, and thus punched their ticket. Their chances jumped from 78.4% to 95.7%. The Pirates are in.
Oregon State
The Beavers got another win over lowly WSU and moved from 55.9% to 61.3%.
Colorado
The Buffaloes remained hot and got a nice win over ASU. Chances bumped from 77.0% to 90.0%. Practically a lock now.
Valparaiso
They're all-but in now. Another road win boosted their chances from 84.0% to 87.6%.
Monmouth
The Hawks keep winning, and their bench keeps getting featured in the Bubble Guide. They moved to 25-6 overall and 17-3 in the MAAC. Next up, the MAAC tourney. Chances dropped from 41.8% to 40.5%, as too many bubble teams above them kept winning this weekend.
Houston
The Cougars got an impressive win at UConn, and saw themselves climb onto the bubble for the first time. They have a lofty record, but the #77 RPI is holding them back. Chances up from 8.9% to 17.3%
Ohio State
The Buckeyes got a much-needed win against Iowa to keep their hopes alive. Chances grew from 7.9% to 14.2%. If they win their next game, it would be hard for a 12-6 Big Ten team to be left out, despite their horrible non-conference schedule.
Monday's Lone Bubble Action
Syracuse (RPI: 55 Chances: 38.7%)
at UNC
7pm, ESPN
- The Orange will punch their ticket to the dance with a win over the Tarheels. At this point, a Syracuse win probably helps Pitt more than it hurts Pitt, so.... Go Orange!
